Celebrity Suicides

To lose someone you love is always difficult but for a person you know and care about to take their own life is even more difficult. The ones left behind after a suicide are haunted by questions that can never be answered...and the guilt that perhaps something could have been done to prevent such a tragedy. If you or someone you know needs help, please call the<strong> National Suicide Prevention Lifeline</strong> at 1-800-273-8255.
